Background
Addis are an international, independently owned company with a 230 year history of design, manufacture and supply of housewares.

The Challenge
Addis had a large amount of documentation and each time they needed to retrieve information this was slow and time consuming process. There was also an issue with limited storage space. They needed a solution to reduce their storage space and make the records more accessible in terms of quick and easy retrieval. They had a large backlog of records plus an ongoing requirement.

The Solution
We began by digitising their backlog of records, which ran in conjunction with a scan–on-demand service whilst their work was in progress. This allowed their end users constant access to the records whilst they were being scanned. We then continued digitising their records on a regular schedule. Addis have now been a regular customer for over 10 years, using Transmedia’s high accuracy paper scanning service to digitise their paper records.

Transmedia scan and index Addis’ delivery notes to their exact specification and provide them with a bespoke CD based document management system (Imagebase), to allow them to quickly search for and retrieve the documents they require.
